Galatasaray vs Zalgiris Predictions
- Galatasaray are without a clean sheet in 12 Champions League ties.
- Zalgiris have scored 23 goals in their last nine competitive matches.
- Zalgiris have scored in 13 of their last 16 Champions League games.
Gala look to end Champions League winless run
Huge favourites Galatasaray could only manage a draw in their first-leg trip to Zalgiris but the Turks and, while they should win the return leg, they could come under pressure defensively when the Lithuanian side head to Istanbul.
After falling behind early in the second half, Gala were saved by two goals inside three minutes before conceding a late equaliser in Vilnius. They are now winless in 14 Champions League matches, although that record should be laid to rest come Wednesday.
Zalgiris can threaten going forward
Zalgiris were impressive, if slightly fortunate, in the first leg and have scored 23 goals across their last nine competitive matches, while they have punched above their weight in the Champions League over the last couple of seasons.
They knocked Malmo out of the competition last season with a 3-0 aggregate win and scored against Bodo/Glimt later in the qualifiers, so their attackers have no fear going up against bigger names.
The hosts are without a clean sheet in 12 Champions League games in a run stretching back to 2018 so backing both teams to score appeals, although they were lucky to get the result they did on home soil so a 2-1 win for Galatasaray is a solid correct score pick.
